What Do I Earn?

CEU Credits

To receive CEUs for your Wharton Online course(s), you must complete all coursework and pass all assessments in a CEU-eligible program of study with a score of 70% or above.

CEUs are included with every Wharton Online course. Upon successful course completion, learners automatically earn one CEU, which is noted in the digital credentials.

Credentialing

Upon successfully completing your course, you'll receive a digital badge recognizing your achievement. The badge is a verified, shareable credential that showcases your dedication and newly acquired skills.

You can easily share your digital badge on LinkedIn, your personal website, digital resume, or email signature — making it simple for employers, peers, and your professional network to see what you've accomplished.
